People you love live on inside of you; in your memories, in your soul, the little things you do, the little things you think, the way you think. Then I think you add to them and it grows from there. You have your own experiences. But to take that sort of compassion and sincerity and move forward with it is extraordinary. Mom shared that with us before she died and it was a gift we will hold on to. We don’t need all of the stuff when we have the memories, the feelings, mom’s laugh and dad’s dance moves.
